An Old Friend
Chapter 1: The State of the Unions
CJ was having a busy day. Nothing important or anything, she only worked for the most powerful man in the world, and tonight was only one of the most important speeches of his presidency, even if it was only his second year. Of course the press wanted to know which hot topics would be in the speech, but they also wanted to know who would be wearing what. busy day? you certainly could say so. But she was faring better than Toby. at least CJ still had her sense of humor.
"Hows it goin there Shakespeare?" CJ asked Toby as she hovered in his doorway.
Toby only grumbled in response. "Ginger I need the next five minutes he has!"
"CJCarol just called, she needs you in the office!"
" oh fine" cj replied to Ginger "tobys being no fun anyway."
"Jenny from Vogue is in your office, wants to know what the boys are wearing tonight. Also you got a call from-" CJ cut her off.
"The boys? What are they making a calendar?"
CJ stepped into her office before Carol could answer.
"What can I do for you, Jenny?"
"Is the senior staff going to match tonight?"
CJ looked up from the papers on her desk she had been going through, the post-it Carol had placed on top of the other memos and most recent drafts of the speech had distracted her. General Branton to meet you before the speech.
Branton? that name sounds so familiar...
"Is the senior staff going to match tonight CJ?"
" No Jenny, I'm pretty sure we'll all be dressing of our own accord. at least no one left me the memo that we were all to wear green plaid. Will that be all?"
"yep. thanks CJ, see you tonight."
shit. Branton?! Tony Branton?!
Carol stepped into her office. "So who is this Branton?!" she waggled her eyebrows at CJ.
"Aren't we a little too busy for this today Carol?"
"of course boss." But Carol kept one eyebrow raised. "so who is it that i just put on your schedule for drinks at 6:30?"
shit. "Oh, just....an old friend" CJ sighed.
